I would try disabling USB 2.0 and the sound in the BIOS if you are not 
using them.  Also, try commenting out

#device         apic            # I/O APIC

in your kernel.

On my machines, I can easily cause an interrupt storm by making a hardware 
device fire an interrupt that is not handled by the OS.  Not sure if it 
will help you, but its worth a shot.
